Libby is the brand new app from OverDrive Labs. We're trying to simplify and bring joy to every aspect of digital borrowing and reading. If you love it, you can use it instead of the OverDrive app. If you don't love it yet, feel free to keep using the OverDrive app, but check in on Libby from time to time — we're adding features and squashing bugs every day.

Happy reading.

What's new in version 1.3.2

In this release, we've substantially reduced the amount of synchronization data that is transmitted while you're playing an audiobook, and we've taken care of a few uncommon crash bugs.

In the previous release, we focused on reliable audio buffering and playback. We rewrote the audio subsystem from the ground up, to play downloaded and streaming audio quickly and dependably.

This app has made a positive impact on my life by getting me back into reading books. It works so easily by allowing you to check out digital books and audiobooks from your local library. If you don’t have a library card, it will set one up for you. Great for books for kids too.
